Biography
Ka Sang-ki was born on 14 October 1968 in Sunchon, Taedong Province, North Korea. His father was a veteran of the Korean War, and he followed in his footsteps by joining the Korean People's Army. Ka Sang-ki decided to enter a political life by studying Juche philosophy, and he was appointed as the political commissar for a regiment of KPA infantry stationed on the Korean DMZ. At this time, Ka Sang-ki was recruited by the government to read broadcasts advocating laborers' support for the government, saying that they were giving the workers more rights than they had in other countries. Ka Sang-ki was in turn praised by the government as a speaker for the people, and he became a member of parliament. Little more than a propaganda tool, Ka Sang-ki played a key role in ensuring that the people of North Korea were fed their propaganda every day.
